How Books Work
Click the Book Mouse Explains Books
It's pretty simple. All you need to know is that books are made of pieces of paper called pages. The pages are attached together. There is a cover to protect the pages so they don't fall out!
The pages have letters and words on them. These words make up the story.
You want to begin at the beginning of the story-- so you always start on the first page. Turn the pages to the left until you run out of pages. That's the end of the story! And the end of my story, too.
Print Awareness
Noticing print, knowing how to handle a book, and knowing how to follow the words on the page is the skill Click's teaching.
Babies will often put board books in their mouths. Help your older child discover how to hold a book and turn the pages.

Itzabitza - Creativity & Reading in a Drawing Program
A small Seattle-based company called Sabi has recently teamed up with Microsoft to develop an interactive drawing/reading program called Itzabitza for the Microsoft platform. The game is unique because of its ability to recognize drawings and create interactions with the drawings that have been created.
The goal of this educational egame is to inspire creativity and promote reading in target audience of children ages 4+. As children draw, their drawings come to life. The program is able to recognize what has been drawn with the help of a drawing recognition program incorporated into the game called Living Ink. Because the game can recognize what has been drawn, the characters in the game can interact with it in natural ways. So for example, if a child is asked to draw a house, the computer will recognize the various elements that compose the house that is drawn and insert interactive components. A door and windows will appear, and once they have appeared, they can be opened. If the child draws doors, windows, or chimneys for example, the program recognizes them and uses them in the story. The characters can enter the house that has just been drawn by the child, climb the stairs, and be visible in the window on the second floor.
Children play the game by initiating quests. Each quest will prompt them to move or to draw. When they draw, their drawings become a part of the story. Part of the motivation, in addition to seeing your artwork incorporated in a story, is that you can only proceed to the next quest, or story line, after you have received enough stars. This unlocks the next quest.
The game has received high praise as an enticing way to inspire kids to read. Words, when they appear are clickable and can be read aloud. As the child begins playing, words will appear that will begin the quest. Once a child chooses a word, the child is prompted to do something related to that word.

Vicki Kell read out loud what she wrote. She had taken notes, so she won't forget the details.
"He was promising me the moon and never came through and did anything," Vicki said.
But Vicki's story isn't the first FOX23's heard.
Last February a Broken Arrow woman was so stressed about the situation she didn't want to reveal her identity.
"I know when I look back I should've known better," she said.
But she gave Precision Contracting and Roofing a $10,000 check made out by her insurance company. It was supposed to pay for a new roof. Bill Pittman owned the company, and his brother Casey Pittman worked with him. But the name on the back of the check was Phil Strawn, short for John Phillip Strawn, II.
The woman says Strawn cashed the check, but he and the Pittmans never did any work.
"We were very upset they had 10-thousand dollars, and they weren't calling us back," she said.
A FOX23 crew confronted Strawn in a South Tulsa parking lot back in February.
"I want to talk to you about the Pittmans," said FOX23's Janna Clark.
"I don't have anything to say. I don't work with them," Strawn said.
Although he denied it, FOX23 had cell phone video to prove he was involved with the Pittmans. In it, Strawn says he's the foreman on a roofing job for the Pittmans.
"I want to ask you about specific complaints we got," Janna said.
"What do you want to ask me about? My name's not on any paperwork, no LLC or anything," Strawn said.
But remember - Strawn's name was on the back of the check that was made out to the Pittmans' business.
"Your name's on the back of the check," Janna pointed out.
"My name's not on a contract. That's not against the law to cash a check," Strawn said.
Before our interview was over, Strawn did tell us something that was true - that he was doing tree work now.
Not long after our story aired, people started calling to complain about the tree trimming and someone with a familiar face - Strawn.
Vicki Kell hired Strawn to do tree trimming in her back yard.
She says he gave her a business card with the company name - Ultimate Tree Care.
Before the job was done, she paid Strawn in full - $750. She said he and his crew didn't finish and also broke the window of her outdoor building that was next to the tree.
"I called and called and called," Vicki said.
She said Strawn wouldn't come back or do anything about the broken window.
"I thought he would be a man of his word," Vicki said.
Vicki said Bill Pittman was working with Strawn. Now she wants to warn others.
"I think it's very wrong. There's too many elderly people in this area that can be taken also," Vicki said.
Vicki's not alone. Two of her South Tulsa neighbors told FOX23 a similar story off camera. They said they paid Strawn to do the work, but he took the money and didn't finish the job.
Same thing happened in another South Tulsa neighborhood.
One woman told FOX23 Strawn and Pittman did a good job trimming her trees then used that as a reference to try to take advantage of her neighbors.
Kalpana Patel says that's exactly what happened to her.
"Is this the guy?" Janna asked as she showed Kalpana a mug shot photo of Strawn.
"Yeah, that's him," Kalpana said, nodding.
She recognized Strawn and Bill Pittman.
She said it was Bill who approached her under a different company name - Urban Tree Care.
"Pretty much they used the line we have everything we need here already we have all the equipment, and we can take care of this today," Kalpana said.
Kalpana said Pittman asked for money up front, but she wouldn't pay it.
"I told him I'll go ahead and pay him in full when it's done," Kalpana said.
Pittman gave her a contract for the tree trimming with his name on it.
When the crew finished the job, she handed Pittman the $2,900 check made out to Urban Tree Care, but Strawn signed the back of the check.
"Oh wow. Wow. Well, I feel very blessed that he did finish the work," Kalpana said.
But her neighbors didn't fare so well.
Three of them told FOX off camera they paid first, and Strawn promised to do the work. But they say Strawn and Pittman took off with the money and didn't finish the job.
The neighbors admitted they shouldn't have paid anything before the work was done. Most wouldn't talk about it on camera because they're scared of these Strawn and the Pittmans. One said Strawn threatened to hurt him and his family.
But Strawn won't be facing any charges. According to the Medical Examiner's office, police found Strawn dead in mid-September in a friend's Tulsa apartment. The Medical Examiner's office says the cause of death in still pending because the toxicology report hasn't come back.
But remember the Broken Arrow woman who said Strawn and the Pittmans stole $10,000?
Bill and Casey Pittman face criminal charges in Wagoner County for what happened to her - one count each of obtaining money by false pretenses. Both are supposed to go back to court to enter a plea on January 8.
"When you do something bad, there's always a consequence for it," Kalpana said.
FOX23 did try to call Bill and Casey Pittman to get their side of the story.
But FOX23 couldn't reach them.
So what about those who say they're victims of the tree trimming jobs? Most say they haven't reported what happened to police. Often times, people tend to think these are civil issues, not criminal.
But police tell us they can be considered criminal, especially if you pay for the job, and the company doesn't do any work.
Authorities in Johnson County, Kansas tell FOX23 that earlier this year, Bill Pittman got probation when he cashed a homeowner's $6,000 check and didn't do any work.
We checked with the Better Business Bureau, and although there were complaints against the roofing companies, there are no complaints listed under the tree trimming company names the men used.
Customers can also make complaints to the Better Business Bureau, which investigates and keeps record of each complaint. The number to call is (918)492-1266.
So what should you do before you hire a tree trimming company?
Here's some advice from Mike Forest who owns Trees by the Forest.
He says get references.
"All you have to do is say, let me talk to some of your customers. Let me see some of your work," Forest said.
Make sure the company has insurance. You can even call the insurance company to make sure the information you received is correct.
And don't ever pay before the the job is finished.
"Never, never. Why?... They don't need money up front. They already have their equipment... As soon as they say, I need money before I get started, just send them down the road," Forest said.

Merlot became a brand name wine in the 1980s because of its smooth, rich, easy-drinking flavors and texture. It has less acidity and astringency (that furry mouth feeling from tannins) than many other grapes and a medium-body that appeals to many palates. It's since been somewhat vilified, like Chardonnay, for being boring: the soft jazz of the wine world. (Remember Miles' scorn for Merlot in the movie Sideways?) However, it is also the leading grape in some of the world's most famous wines such as Château Petrus, Château Cheval Blanc and Château Palmer.
Merlot is the third most widely planted grape in France (after Carignan and Grenache) and first in the Bordeaux region, especially in St. Emilion and Pomerol, where it usually leads in the blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet France, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Other regions notable for Merlot include southern France (Languedoc), north east Italy (Veneto), eastern Europe, California, Washington State, Chile, Argentina and New Zealand. In Chile, many vines long thought to be Merlot were later identified as Carmenère, a Bordeaux variety.
The two grapes are similar, though, in aroma profile, but Carmenère tends to have more structure. Merlot ripens about a week earlier than both Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc and therefore is generally richer, riper and rounder as a grape in the blend. It also is a safer bet for vintners because they can harvest Merlot earlier before fall rains or early frosts. Merlot likes dry, rocky soils but is thin-skinned and can be prone to rot or early spring frosts since it also flowers early. It must be pruned regularly as it's a vigorous vine that if over-cropped, produces wines that taste watery, weedy or grassy.
My reviews of these Merlot red wines are updated weekly. These Merlot red wines offer great taste at a good price. You'll find a definition of Merlot wine at the bottom of this page as well as food pairings for Merlot in my wine matcher. This is just a small set of my reviews, but you can get all of them when you join my wine community.

Merlot tends to be more herbaceous in aroma than Cabernet Sauvignon. Other signature notes include plums, currants, black cherries, blackberries, vanilla, coconuts, violets, roses, cloves, bay leaves, green peppercorns, mushrooms, coffee, mocha, cedar, cigar box, bell pepper and green olive. Its color ranges from medium dark red to deep blue.
Merlot, with its juicy dark fruit flavors, pairs well with many meat dishes such as beef, cheese, poultry, borsch (beet soup), quesadillas, Tandoori-flavored dishes, game, lamb, pasta, pork, veal, lentil dishes and dark chocolate.

George Bush Intercontinental Airport, (IATA: IAH, ICAO: KIAH, FAA LID: IAH)[2] is a Class B international airport in Houston, Texas serving the Greater Houston metropolitan area, the fifth-largest metropolitan area in the United States. Located about 23 miles (37 km) north of Downtown Houston,[2] between Interstate 45 and Interstate 69/U.S. Highway 59, George Bush Intercontinental Airport has scheduled flights to domestic and international destinations. The airport is named after George H. W. Bush, the 41st President of the United States.[3]
George Bush Intercontinental Airport served 40,187,442 passengers[1] in 2011 making the airport the tenth busiest for total passengers in North America. In 2006, the airport was named the fastest-growing of the top ten airports in the United States by the United States Department of Transportation. Houston Bush Intercontinental is the largest passenger carrying hub for United Airlines carrying 16.6 million passengers annually with an average of 45,413 passengers daily.[4]

The site for Bush Intercontinental Airport was originally purchased by a group of Houston businessmen in 1957 to preserve the site until the city of Houston could formulate a plan for a second airport, supplanting what was then known as Houston Municipal Airport (later renamed William P. Hobby Airport). The holding company for the land was named the Jet Era Ranch Corporation, but a typographical error transformed the words "Jet Era" into "Jetero" and the airport site subsequently became known as the Jetero airport site. Although the name Jetero was no longer used in official planning documents after 1961, the eastern entrance to the airport was named Jetero Boulevard. Most of Jetero Boulevard was subsequently renamed Will Clayton Parkway.[citation needed]
The City of Houston annexed the Bush Airport area in 1965. This annexation, along with the 1965 annexations of the Bayport area, the Fondren Road area, and an area west of Sharpstown, resulted in a total gain of 51,251 acres (20,741 ha) of land for the city limits.[5]
Houston Intercontinental Airport, as it was originally known, opened in June 1969.[3] All passenger traffic from William P. Hobby Airport moved to Intercontinental upon the airport's completion. Hobby remained open as a general aviation airport and reopened two years later when Southwest Airlines initiated domestic services.[6]
Houston Intercontinental had been scheduled to open in 1967, but design changes regarding the terminals created cost overruns and construction delays. The prime contractor, R.F. Ball Construction of San Antonio, sued the city of Houston for $11 million in damages, but assistant city attorney Joseph Guy Rollins, Jr. successfully defended the municipality on appeal to the Texas Supreme Court.[7]
In the late 1980s, Houston City Council considered a plan to rename the airport after Mickey Leland—an African-American congressman who died in an aviation accident in Ethiopia. Instead of renaming the whole airport, the city named Mickey Leland International Arrivals Building, which would later become Mickey Leland Terminal D, after the congressman. In April 1997, Houston City Council unanimously voted to rename the airport George Bush Intercontinental Airport/Houston, after George H. W. Bush, the 41st President of the United States.[3][8]
On August 28, 1990, Continental Airlines agreed to build its maintenance center at George Bush Intercontinental Airport; Continental agreed to do so because the city of Houston agreed to provide city-owned land near the airport so that Continental could build its maintenance facility there.[9]
As of 2007, Terminals A and B remain from the original design of the airport. Lewis W. Cutrer Terminal C opened in 1981, the Mickey Leland International Arrivals Building (now called Terminal D) opened in May 1990, and the new Terminal E partially opened on June 3, 2003. The rest of Terminal E opened on January 7, 2004. Terminal D is the arrival point for all international flights arriving into Houston except for flights operated by United Airlines which uses Terminal E. Terminal D also held customs and INS until the opening of the new Federal Inspection Service (FIS) building, completed on January 25, 2005.[10]
On January 7, 2009, a Continental Airlines Boeing 737–800 departing Bush Intercontinental was the first U.S. commercial jet to fly on a mix of conventional jet fuel and biofuel.[11]
In December 2009 the Houston City Council approved a plan to allow Midway Cos. to develop 10 acres (4.0 ha) of land owned by Houston Airport System on the grounds of Bush Airport. Midway plans to develop a travel center for the airport's rental car facility. The city dictated that the developer needed to place a convenience store and gas station facility, a flight information board, a fast casual restaurant, and a sit-down restaurant. Beyond the required buildings, the developer plans to add an office facility between 20,000 square feet (1,900 m2) and 40,000 square feet (3,700 m2) and additional retail; the developer may add a hotel.[12]
In 2011 Continental Airlines began service to Lagos; this was the airport's first nonstop flight to Africa.[13] The airline was also planning to commence service to Auckland, New Zealand but plans for the Auckland service were cancelled because of new international flights at Hobby Airport (to be operated by Southwest Airlines).[14] United Airlines—which acquired Continental and had fully integrated it into the United brand by early 2012—had postponed the introduction of this service owing to delays associated with the Boeing 787,[15] but still hasn't begun the service with seven 787 Dreamliners currently in its fleet (as of November 2013). Its 787s have been put to use on other international routes, however, including Houston-London and United's new Houston-Lagos flights.[16]
Houston became the sixth U.S. city to have Airbus A380 service when Lufthansa transitioned its Houston-Frankfurt route from a 747-400 to an A380 service on August 1, 2012.[17]
On July 11, 2013, Air China began nonstop flights from Houston to Beijing, China using a Boeing 777-300ER. This is the airport's first nonstop route to mainland China.[18] Houston also gained nonstop flights to Turkey when Turkish Airlines launched nonstop service to Istanbul on April 1, 2013.[19] Korean Air will commence nonstop flights to Seoul on May 2, 2014.[20] Among other continental-Asia destinations, Singapore Airlines offers nonstop service between Houston and Moscow, continuing on from there to Singapore; Qatar Airways flies a nonstop Houston-Doha route; and Emirates flies nonstop from Houston to Dubai.
On March 31, 2014, Scandinavian Airlines announced that it will begin flights from Stavanger to Houston. This is the first time the airline has opened a route from its non-hub cities. The aircraft will be a leased 737 BBJ1 from PrivatAir. The aircraft will operate in SAS colors, in a 44 seat all business configuration.
George Bush Intercontinental Airport served 40,187,442 passengers[1] in 2011 making the airport the 10th busiest for total passengers in North America. IAH is the 7th largest international passenger gateway in the US[2] and the 7th busiest airport in the world for total aircraft movements. In 2006, the United States Department of Transportation named George Bush Intercontinental Airport the fastest growing of the top ten airports in the United States.[21] The Houston Airport System (HAS) states that the airport's service area includes the following Greater Houston counties: Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty, Montgomery, and Waller.[22] The airport currently ranks fourth in the United States for non-stop domestic and international service with 182 destinations and about 45 percent of the airport's passengers begin or terminate (O&D) their journey at the airport.[23] Bush Intercontinental ranks first among the major United States airports with the highest on-time performance, according to a 2010 United States Department of Transportation report.[24] As of 2007, with 31 destinations in Mexico, the airport offers service to more Mexican destinations than any other United States airport.[25]
The Houston Air Route Traffic Control Center, located on the airport grounds at 16600 JFK Boulevard,[26] serves as the region's ARTCC.[27][28] The HAS administrative offices are also on the airport property.[28][29]
Terminals, airlines and destinations[edit]
There are three main entrances into IAH's terminal areas. John F. Kennedy Boulevard is the main north-south artery into the airport and intersects with Greens Road becoming an expressway leading to the terminals (by traveling east on Greens Road, one can access the nearby Greenspoint business and residential district). Will Clayton Parkway, which runs east to west, is another main road for IAH. IH 69/US 59 is connected to IAH by Will Clayton Parkway. The Hardy Tollway Connector runs from west to east connecting JFK Boulevard to the Hardy Toll Road.
The airport has a total of five terminals encompassing 250 acres (1 km²).[citation needed], with a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) distance from Terminal A to Terminal D.
Terminal A[edit]
Terminal A was one of the original two terminals to open in 1969 and was designed by Goleman & Rolfe and George Pierce-Abel B. Pierce.[30] Like Terminal B, it originally had four circular modules (called "Flight Stations" locally) at the end of corridors radiating out of the corners of the terminal. However, in the late-1990s and early-2000s, the North and South Concourses were rebuilt into linear facilities which provide a smoother operation within the terminal. The project was completed in 2002 and was designed by Gensler.[30] Terminal A has 20 gates, with 10 gates in the North Concourse[31] and 10 gates in the South Concourse.[32] Today the terminal handles all non-United domestic and Canada operations (including Air Canada Jazz commuter operations) and some United Express operations.
The food court areas are in the center of each concourse, near the departure gates. A small United Club is found in the North concourse.
Terminal B[edit]
Terminal B was also one of the original two terminals of the airport to open in 1969 and was also designed by Goleman & Rolfe and George Pierce-Abel B. Pierce.[30] It is mostly an unaltered terminal from its original design and is now used solely by United Express commuter flights. For this reason, the jet bridges are considerably lower to the ground than most others. There are 37 gates and 20 hardstand gates.[33] The terminal serves all United Express operations except for international arrivals. The terminal underwent minor renovations from 1997 to 2001, designed by Gensler.[30] In 2011 the City of Houston announced that it would demolish the gate areas of Terminal B and rebuild them. The architect for the project is Pierce, Goodwin, Alexander & Linville.[34] The first phase of the terminal's renovation broke ground on January 23, 2012.[35] Phase one of the project was completed in April 2013, and the first 15 gates of the new South Concourse opened for operations on May 21, 2013.[36]
Terminal C[edit]
Terminal C (also known as Lewis W. Cutrer Terminal[37]) was the third terminal to open at the airport following A and B in 1981. It was designed by the Houston firm of Airport Architects, a joint venture of Golemon & Rolfe Architects and Pierce and Pierce Architects.[30] It serves as United Airlines' main base of domestic operations. The airline operate two United Clubs in the terminal. Terminal C has 31 gates.[38] The terminal includes the airport's interfaith chapel.[39] The terminal underwent renovations from 2000 to 2005 and was designed by Gensler.[30]
Terminal D[edit]
Terminal D (also known as Mickey Leland Terminal) opened in 1990 as the International Arrivals Building (IAB) and was later renamed the Mickey Leland International Arrivals Building. The $95 million terminal was designed by Golemon and Folfe Architects, Pierce Goodwin Alexander, James L. Marshall Associates, and Molina and Associates,.[40]
The IAB, equipped with a Federal Inspection Facility (FIS) and US Customs services, consolidated all international arrivals into one terminal. Since the opening of Terminal E/FIS, Terminal D now houses all non-United international flights except for United Express international arrivals. In Terminal D airlines share gates, ticket counters, and terminal equipment, making it a "common use" facility. It is the first "common use facility" to be established in the United States. The Terminal D food court is located in the departures area.[41] In 2007 the airport authority began renovations in which 20 additional common-use ticket counters, upscale retail and restaurant shops, and new on-airport spa/beauty lounge will be added over the next few years.[42]
Terminal D has 12 gates and several international lounges, including two separate British Airways Galleries Lounges (First and Club), a Lufthansa Senator, a KLM Crown, an Air France, and an Executive Lounge for Singapore, Emirates, Qatar, and Lufthansa.[43]
Terminal E[edit]
Terminal E is IAH's newest terminal, and houses United Airlines's international operations and some domestic operations. The terminal was designed by Corgan Associates,[30] and it opened in two phases. The first phase opened in 2002 with 14 gates, and the second phase added 16 gates in 2003 for a total of 30.[44] United operates one large, 3 floor, United Club in Terminal E. Originally Continental (before merging with United) used the terminal solely for domestic flights, but relocated its international services to the new terminal after the new Federal Inspection Service (FIS) building opened. The terminal was designed for maximum flexibility, with jetways that were able to handle any aircraft. Currently, all United international mainline flights arrive at Terminal E while all United Express international flights arrive at Terminals D and E, then depart out of Terminal B. In addition to international flights, some larger United domestic mainline flights also operate out of the terminal.

Other services[edit]
Atlas Air offers a thrice-weekly charter service to Luanda, Angola on behalf of SonAir. Atlas Air replaced World Airways in June 2010.[52] These charter flights are intended to service companies operating in the oil industry in Angola which are members of the US/Africa Energy Association (USAEA).[53]
United Airlines offers thrice-daily bus service to Beaumont, TX, which replaced its air service on July 1, 2012.
Terminal transportation[edit]
An above ground train called TerminaLink connects Terminals A, B, C, D, E and the International Arrivals Building (IAB) for those with connecting flights in different terminals and provides sterile airside connections. This allows passengers to travel within the airport without having to re-enter security. TerminaLink has four stops: Terminal A, Terminal B, Terminal C, and Terminals D/E including the IAB. The airport has expanded the line to Terminal A at a cost of US $100 million. Construction began on the extension in early 2008 and was completed in 2010.[54]
An underground inter-terminal train outside of the sterile zone connects all five terminals and the airport hotel which can be accessed by all. This system is based on the WEDway PeopleMover technology developed by the Walt Disney Company.[55]
In addition United Airlines has started a VIP terminal transportation service for elite status customers, using Mercedes Benz vehicles.[56]
The airport houses an on-site hotel, a Marriott, between Terminals B and C and is accessible via the inter-terminal train. The hotel has 566 rooms, two restaurants, a cocktail lounge, a coffee shop and a conference center.[57]
Ground transportation[edit]
From Downtown Houston one can travel to George Bush Intercontinental by taking Interstate 69/U.S. Route 59 (Eastex Freeway) to Beltway 8 or to Will Clayton Parkway, and access the airport from either road. From Downtown one could also take Interstate 45 (North Freeway), connect to Beltway 8, and enter the airport from the Beltway.[41] The Hardy Toll Road has an exit from the north or south to the airport.
The Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County, Texas, or METRO, offers bus service available at the south side of Terminal C. The 102 Bush IAH Express serves the airport. Previously, METRO also operated an express bus service known as Airport Direct, launched in the summer of 2008, which traveled from Downtown Houston to Terminal C via the HOV lane of the Eastex Freeway (I-69)/(US 59).[58][59][60] In 2010, in an effort to increase ridership and maximize revenue, METRO reduced the fare of Airport Direct and closed a dedicated passenger plaza for the service in Downtown Houston; instead, the bus stopped at several downtown hotels.[61] The fare each way was reduced from $15 to $4.50. The fare change increased ridership levels but decreased cash flow. METRO consistently provided the service at an operational loss.[62] However, in the summer of 2011, METRO announced that it was discontinuing the Airport Direct service, while the Route 102 local service (which serves the greater Greenspoint business and residential district before traveling on I-45 to access downtown) continued to operate.[63]
Courtesy vans[edit]
Courtesy vans are operated by various hotels and motels in and around the Houston Area. There are courtesy telephones in the baggage claim areas to request pick-up for most hotels and motels.[58]
Shuttle service[edit]
Regularly scheduled bus and shuttle service is provided by various carriers to locations from IAH to Reliant Park/Reliant Astrodome, Downtown Houston, Uptown, Greenway Plaza, the Texas Medical Center, hotels in the Westchase and Energy Corridor business districts, the city of College Station and William P. Hobby Airport. Super Shuttle also provides service from George Bush Intercontinental Airport to the surrounding communities via shared vans.[58]
Taxis can be hailed through the Ground Transportation employees outside each terminal. All destinations within Houston's city limits to/from Bush Intercontinental Airport are charged according to the flat Zone Rate or the meter rate.[58] Within a 15 minute cab ride, one can access Deerbrook Mall in Humble and the Greenspoint business district. Within a 45-minute cab ride, one can access the Houston Museum District, The Galleria, and the city arboretum.[41]
Taxi drivers at Bush airport wait longer to be dispatched for pickups of passengers than drivers at other airports in major U.S. cities. Josh Harkinson of the Houston Press said "Houston cabbies can easily wait six hours." The lives of many taxi drivers working at the airport revolve around the airport's taxi lot, nicknamed "Cabbieville." Taxi drivers servicing the airport come from many countries around the world.[64]
Ed Carpenter's "Light Wings", a multicolored glass sculpture suspended below a sky light, adorns the Terminal A North Concourse.[65] In Terminal A, South Concourse stands Terry Allen's "Countree Music." Allen's piece is a cast bronze tree that plays instrumental music by Joe Ely and David Byrne, though the music is normally turned off. The corridor leading to Terminal A displays Leamon Green's "Passing Through," a 200-foot (61 m) etched glass wall depicting airport travelers.[66]
The elevators in Terminal B are cased in stainless steel accordion shaped structures designed by Rachel Hecker.[67] The corridor leading to Terminal B has Dixie Friend Gay's "Houston Bayou." This work is composed of an 8 x 75 ft (2.4 x 23 m) Byzantine glass mosaic mural depicting scenes from Houston's bayous and wetlands, several bronze animals embedded in the floor, and five mosaic columns.
Lights Spikes Jay Baker, shown in the photo, was created for the 1990 G7 Summit when it was hosted by President George H. W. Bush in Houston. The sculpture was relocated to the airport outside of E Terminal after the meetings from its original location in front of the George R. Brown Convention Center.
The distance between each "spike" and this point is relative to the distance between Houston and the capital of the country the flags represent. The countries represented are the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Japan, Canada, Italy and Germany, as well as the European community and the columns lean at a ten degree angle toward a central point that represents Houston.[68] The airport has a display of lighted modern sculptures between terminals C and D.[41]
George Bush Intercontinental ranks as the 12th-largest gateway in the United States in terms of international air cargo moved. The facility moved 389,075 metric tons of cargo in 2010.[2]
In January 2003, the Houston Airport System decided to create a new 125 million dollar, 550,000 square feet (51,095 square meters), called the George Bush Intercontinental CargoCenter.[69]
The facility can handle up to 20 widebody aircraft at one time and has expanded to an operational area of 880,000 sq ft (81,752 m2) over the last five years. The CargoCenter has its own separate Federal Inspection Facitilty (FIS) that houses Customs, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), United States Department of Agriculture, and Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.[70]
The facility also includes the International Air CargoCenter II, a 60,000 sq ft (18,288 m2) perishable cargo handling facility. It is located in the IAH CargoCenter and offer direct ramp access for cargo airlines as well as importers and distributors of perishable goods.[71] The center is recoginized as an official Certified Cargo Screening Facility (CCSF).[72]
For five years in a row, Air Cargo Inc has honored Bush Intercontinental Airport with the ACE Award for Excellence in the category of airports with less than 500,000 tons of air cargo annually.[73]
Trade data[edit]
Cargo airlines[edit]
Master plan[edit]
The city of Houston presented its master plan update for IAH in 2005.[79] The near-term plan calls for Terminal B's circular flight stations to be rebuilt into linear facilities similar to Terminal A. Construction of a new 155,000-square-foot (14,400 m2) pier at Terminal D, capable of handling six additional wide body aircraft, is slated for completion in 2013.[80]
The long-term plans call for the existing unit terminals to be demolished and the North and South Concourses to be linked midway. Soon after, all of the facilities in the North and South Concourses will be linked together to form two long continuous facilities. In addition, a new Central Passenger Processing facility will also be built, called the East Terminal along with an underground people mover.
Airfield improvements include a new Runway 8C-26C, a new Runway 9R-27L, a perimeter taxiway, and access roadways.[81][82] If the FAA selects new sites for runways, the FAA may buy land from the Glen Lee Place and Heather Ridge Village subdivisions, which are located off of Lee Road.[83]
Accidents and incidents[edit]
The following involved flights departing or arriving at the airport:
- 1973: National Airlines Flight 27: Depressurization ejected a passenger after the fan assembly disintegrated en route to McCarran International Airport.[84]
- 1975: February 1, Douglas DC-3 N15HC of Horizon Properties crashed on approach when the port wing collided with an electricity pylon. The aircraft was on a domestic non-scheduled passenger flight from Lawton Municipal Airport, Oklahoma to Huntsville Regional Airport, Texas. Due to weather conditions, the flight was diverted to Houston. Of the 16 occupants,[85] two crew and three passengers were killed.[86]
- 1990: Executive/Grumman G1 Operated by Rowan Drilling Company: Power loss in engine after take-off resulted in a failed attempt to regain altitude en route to New Orleans International Airport. The aircraft crashed on departure from Runway 15L and came to rest midfield along a parallel taxiway. There were three fatalities.[87]
- 1991: Continental Express Flight 2574 (Britt Airways): Broke into pieces en route from Laredo to Houston Intercontinental. There were 14 fatalities.[88]
- On February 19, 1996, a Continental Airlines McDonnell Douglas DC-9-32 operating as Continental Airlines Flight 1943 from Ronald Reagan National Airport arriving in Houston, Texas landed with its landing gear in the stowed position on Runway 27. The aircraft slid for 6,915 feet (2,108 m) on its belly before coming to a stop on the runway 140 feet (43 m) left of the runway centerline approximately at the departure end of the runway. There were no fatalities and only minor injuries. The aircraft was written off.[89]
- On December 20, 2008, a Continental Airlines Boeing 737–500 operating as Flight 1404 from Denver International Airport in Denver, Colorado to Bush Airport overran Runway 34R, and caught fire during its takeoff roll. There was no snow or ice on the runway; however, there were 31-knot (36 mph) crosswinds at the time of the accident. On July 13, 2010 the NTSB report stated that the probable cause of this accident was the captain's cessation of right rudder input, which was needed to maintain directional control of the airplane, about 4 seconds before the excursion, when the airplane encountered a strong and gusty crosswind that exceeded the captain's training and experience. Of the 115 people on board, at least 38 sustained injuries, at least two of these were injured critically.[90][91][92]
- On May 2, 2013, gunman Carnell Marcus Moore of Beaumont, Texas fired shots from a Glock semi-automatic pistol into the ceiling of a terminal. A Homeland Security officer fired upon and wounded Moore in the right shoulder before Moore shot himself. There was an AR-15 rifle in a suitcase that was not used, while a suicide note was found stating he had a "monster within" and he wanted police to stop him before he hurt others [93]

It was what he'd been waiting months to do. He knew what was coming next and he seized the opportunity.
The true freshman from Anniston scored a touchdown the very first time he touched the ball in a college game and wound up as Jacksonville State's leading rusher in the Gamecocks' 49-24 loss at Arkansas.
"My first college experience was good," Pope said after a couple of days to digest the day. "I was just very excited to get on the field. I was just waiting for my opportunity, and when I got it, I knew I'd have to perform. He got down, so I had to pick him up."
After the game, head coach Jack Crowe called Pope a "right-now-win-the-game" type back he wouldn't hesitate giving the load. That support will be tested in Saturday's home opener against Chattanooga following Ealey's arrest Wednesday morning on misdemeanor drug charges.
Ealey has been suspended for the game, leaving Pope and sophomore Damarcus James to handle the bulk of the rushing attack.
Pope wound up rushing for 65 yards on 14 carries against the Razorbacks and had a better per-carry average than the SEC's leading rusher in 2010 suited up on the other side of the field. The first time Pope touched the ball, he took a swing pass from Marques Ivory and went 19 yards for the Gamecocks' first touchdown of the season.
"I couldn't quit just because (Ealey) was down," Pope said. "When he got hurt, he came to me and said it's my time now. He told me to step up and do what I have to do, work hard and play and don't think about who they are. Imagine you're out there playing with nothing on, no names, no Arkansas, no JSU. He told me there's no difference in them and us. I just went out there and played."
After Ealey come off the field, the Gamecocks' offense was a series of plays alternated by Ivory passes and Coty Blanchard runs with a James run around the 10 to break the monotony. A bad lateral forced the Gamecocks into a second-and-goal at the Arkansas 19 and set up Buster's break-out moment.
Ivory threw a pass toward the sideline and Pope did the rest.
"That was crazy; I loved it though," Pope said of scoring on his first touch. "When I saw nobody out there, I knew I was going to beat the guy back inside, so I knew I had a touchdown. It was real exciting to score the first time I touched the ball."
Pope got his first two college carries in the second quarter — a gain and a loss — and finished the half with zero net yards. He incurred his first turnover — and the wrath of coach Jack Crowe — when he lost a fumble in the third quarter
"I put the ball on the floor, that broke my heart," he said shaking his head. "I was like, 'Man, I messed up,' but I couldn't quit and be sad about it. I knew I had to go out there and play."
The next time Buster touched the ball, he busted a 23-yard run. He broke off a 16-yarder on the next snap.
None of the success Pope enjoyed Saturday surprised his high school coach. Pope rushed for 2,539 yards and 31 touchdowns as a senior at Anniston — when he was Class 4A Back of the Year and third in the Mr. Football voting — and more than 4,500 yards and 60 touchdowns in Eddie Bullock's two seasons as Anniston High's coach.
"I told them when he got there, and I'll tell anybody, he's an SEC-type back, it's just the fact everybody was so big on his (small) size, his height," Bullock said. "It wasn't his speed or his strength — he's 5-8. But that 5-8 doesn't measure his heart. That boy's a worker. He's going to do some big things for them up there if he stays healthy. I'm not surprised at all.
"He's a coachable kid, but he has instincts you just don't coach. You get him the football in space, he's hard to tackle. What really is a hidden secret about him is people don't realize he's a combination of speed and strength. He's quick, and then if he gets in the right situation, he'll run over you because he's strong. He squatted over 500 (pounds) and benched over 300, and that's just what he was doing in high school. It's scary to know what he's doing now as far as lifting weights in a college program."
Even though he has scored his first touchdown and had an award-winning debut, Pope isn't satisfied. He said the first day of training camp, his first official day as a college football player, his goal was to set the Gamecocks' freshman rushing record, He's got nearly 1,200 yards to go.
"I haven't reached my goals; I'm still working," he said. "I'm trying to keep on toward my goals. That's just a small portion of my goals."
But it's a start.

Children's is contracted with several managed care plans. Generally these contracts provide for Children's participation for the full scope of services offered by the Hospital and Children's physicians. In some cases, however, managed care plans have implemented separate networks of providers to deliver particular types of services, such as behavioral. Under this type of arrangement, referred to as a "carve-out," not all providers who are affiliated with Children's are participating providers in the carve-out network. The following identifies by department the carve-out arrangements used by specific managed care plans.
Information is provided on whether Children's is currently a participating provider in the particular arrangement. Please note that such carve-out arrangements are often limited to particular products offered by the managed care organization, such as the HMO. Referring physicians and plan enrollees are encouraged to discuss the scope of the carve-out with the plans' provider and member services representatives if there are questions about whether a carve-out applies to a particular member. In cases where Children's is not participating in a particular carve-out network, it may be possible to obtain special authorization for services if a member's needs cannot be accommodated within that network. While every effort has been made to present comprehensive information on the specialized arrangements, these types of arrangements are subject to change.
Departmental Carve-out Arrangements for Specific Managed Care Plans
Plans for which Children's is not a designated participating provider may authorize services at Children's on an exception basis when specialized pediatric expertise is not available within their network of contracted providers.
In addition, members enrolled in PPO or Point of Service products generally have the option to access benefits through non-participating providers with greater out-of-pocket expense.
The following identifies by department the carve-out arrangements used by specific managed care plans. The third column, entitled Children's Status, identifies whether Children's is currently a participating provider under carve-out arrangements.
Laboratory Medicine
Note: Many HMOs have carve-out arrangements for outpatient laboratory services. The hospital and all Children's Outpatient Centers except Frederick are drawing stations and stat sites for Lab Corp. The Hospital is a drawing site for Quest.
Advantica EyeCare (Allied)
Note: The carve-out arrangements noted above are for medical services. Many managed care plans have designated providers for routine eye care, such as vision testing and refractions. These are not noted as Children's does not provide routine eye care. Refer to plan directories for information on routine vision services.
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Medicine
Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy are coordinated through this department. The following carve-outs apply for these therapy services.
*Note: Children's does not have a separate professional services agreement with CareFirst for therapy services. Therapy services provided at Children's for individuals covered by the Federal Employee Plan are processed under provisions for hospital benefits. Children's is not considered a participating provider for Blue Choice.
Psychiatry and Psychology*
*Due to the complexity of mental health benefit carve-outs and variations by employer group, benefit information should be verified directly with the health plan.

The Moapa River Indian Reservation, tribal home of a band of Paiute Indians,
sits about 30 miles north of Las Vegas—and about 300 yards from the coal ash landfills of the Reid Gardner Power Station.
If the conditions are just wrong, coal ash picks up from Reid Gardner and moves across the desert like a sandstorm.
This film, An Ill Wind, tells the Paiute Indians' story. View the individual parts below, or watch the complete film.
Multimedia Producer Chris Jordan writes about the making of this film in "An Ill Wind Blows in Moapa".
180 Seconds of Coal Ash Problems
Power companies and the coal industry have been pressuring Congress to prevent the EPA from regulating coal ash.
Industry wants to keep the status quo of weak state standards that do little to protect communities and our health. Tell your representative to classify coal ash as hazardous waste and vote against any attempts to delay or prevent federally enforceable safeguards for coal ash disposal.
The San Francisco Green Film Festival's mission is to organize and present forward-thinking programs of films that inspire environmental action and advocacy.
The Wild & Scenic Film Festival showcases films illustrating the Earth's beauty, the challenges facing our planet and the work communities are doing to protect the environment.
More Resources On Coal Ash:
Read the latest on coal ash in the headlines and in the halls of Congress, through our blog series "Tr-Ash Talk."
The weekly blog posts are brought to you by Earthjustice's Lisa Evans, Raviya Ismail, and guest bloggers.
Coal ash contains metals like arsenic and mercury that can pose serious health threats, including increased risk of cancer. Learn how coal ash contaminants can affect the human body.
A ground-breaking study by Earthjustice and Physicians for Social Responsibility found that the water and air in 34 states are being poisoned by coal ash—creating major health risks for both children and adults.
Across the U.S., there are more than 500 coal ash dump sites. Explore an interactive map with detailed analysis on these sites and the risks associated with them.

Patrick le petit Irlandais
Albert Roch is a comic artist from Cuesmes, in the area of Mons, Hainaut. He attended the Academy of Mons in 1945 and 1946 and during this period he presumably also contribued to the shortlived comic magazine Kim. He worked as a factor for 40 years, and is an artist as well for over 60 years. By 1953 he was contacted by Walt Disney to draw at his studios, but he declined. He was doing lettering and decoration for Maurice Rosy at the Dupuis Studios at one point.
In the 1960s he was present in the Flemish comic magazine Ohee with 'De Flessen van Koning M'Boeli'. He also made 'Andoche' and 'Arim Cambier' for Éditions de Lutèce during this period, using the pseudonym Béoc. He wrote and drew the series about 'Patrick, le petit Irlandais', that was published in four books by Lito-Paris in 1975 and 1976. It was published in Dutch as 'Rikkie Roest' by Zuidnederlandse Uitgeverij. Another creation by Roch is 'Dudule'.

RL500 is not just a luxury, it's a necessity for the disabled.
It not only gives us the freedom to care for our lawns, (avoiding the high cost of paying for a service), but it also takes away the guilt of having to add yet another burden to our care-givers. The comical sounds and the way the RL500 mowers makes it fun to watch. The installation was easy enough for a wheelchair bound person to do myself. The absolute best part, however, is the Friendly Robotic Employees who not only listen to their customers opinions with very friendly attitudes, but all have always gone above and beyond the call of duty. It is so nice to deal with a company who can be trusted to do what it claims. I am looking forward to future products from this company. Thanks for a Great Product!

(Report provided by Scrimmage Play)
Fork Union quarterback and Penn State commit Christian Hackenberg threw three touchdown passes and UVA commit Malcolm Cook had two interceptions as the Blue Devils rolled to a 33-0 win over Valley Forge Saturday afternoon.
Were it not for the four turnovers between the first and second quarter, a trio of fumbles and one interception, the Blue Devils would have been all but flawless. The game started out with FUMA receiving the kickoff and Bell putting his team in scoring position on a 30-yard run. On fourth and three, running back Nick King broke through a tackle at the 2-yard line to draw first blood.
FUMA got the ball back on Cook's first interception just moments later but a fumble marred the chance to extend the lead. But on the next Blue Devils drive, Hackenberg found receiver Michael Guerci for a 52-yards as he tip-toed down the sideline to complete the touchdown reception to make it 14-0. Hackenberg made it a 21-0 game on a 32-yard reception to Tyron McDade.
In the third quarter the Blue Devils saw running back Jeremy Bell punch in a 3-yard rushing touchdown before giving way to Hackenberg's third passing TD, this one a 12-yard strike to Guerci to put the game out of reach.

At toddlers' eye level, a wasp's nest, crystalline minerals, and chambered nautilus encased in Plexiglas lead the way to the second floor. At the top, "Shape Space" provides preschoolers with toys for building, including a huge set of wooden blocks.

Gov. Jerry Brown meets with White House officials for waivers on education, health care
Kitty Felde/KPCC
Gov. Jerry Brown stands away from other Democratic governors at the White House.
Gov. Jerry Brown and his fellow Democratic governors from around the country met this morning with President Barack Obama. The governor says he wants less government regulation from the feds.
Brown wants more flexibility on two of the biggest money issues for California: health care for the poor and education. He says, "We need some waivers from the federal government to make my job more efficient and effective in California."
Brown met with Education Secretary Arne Duncan to talk about relief from some of the requirements of the 2002 No Child Left Behind law. The federal government has granted a waiver to 10 states, but California didn't apply, concerned it couldn't afford the more than $2 billion required to make enough reforms to earn the waiver.
Under No Child, failing schools could face mass transfers of students, conversion to charters or a state takeover. Brown says he's "optimistic" he can work out a compromise with Washington on both No Child Left Behind and Medi-Cal requirements.

The Age of Stupid global premiere
Friends of the Earth International is proud to be associated with The Age of Stupid, director Franny Armstrong's new film illustrating the disastrous effects of climate change.
The premiere of The Age of Stupid took place worldwide on September 21/22 on the International Day of Climate Action. Friends of the Earth groups that took part in the screening included Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Cyprus, France, Hungary, Romania and many more.
Celebrities and politicians from all over the globe put their weight behind the film. The New York premiere alone was attended by Kofi Annan, Gillian Anderson, Moby, The Age of Stupid's Oscar-nominated star Pete Postlethwaite and filmmakers Franny Armstrong and Lizzie Gillett.
Many other celebrities arrived in New York by sailing boat, bike, rickshaw, electric car or skateboard before walking down the green (not red!) carpet.
Let's hope the film will inspire people in developed countries to cut down on their carbon emissions and call for a just agreement at the UN climate summit in Copenhagen this December.
For information about the film and how you can still see it go to The Age of Stupid website.

Czech Republic win Hopman Cup
The Czech Republic have won the Hopman Cup for the second time after Petra Kvitova and Tomas Berdych enjoyed victories over France in Perth.
World number two Kvitova beat Marion Bartoli 7-5 6-1 before seventh-ranked Berdych sealed victory with a 7-6 6-4 win over Richard Gasquet as both players went through the week unbeaten.
For Kvitova victory continued the success she enjoyed in 2011, including lifting the Wimbledon title and the Fed Cup as well as being the WTA player of the year.
This week she has beaten defending American Hopman Cup champion Bethanie Mattek-Sands, Bulgaria's Tsvetana Pironkova, world number one Caroline Wozniacki, of Denmark, and then Bartoli.
"It was a really good match (against Wozniacki) but today [Saturday] I played much better against Marion and it's always tough to play with someone at the top," Kvitova said.
"It's really good to win at the beginning of the season and of course I have to say thank you to Tomas because without him we wouldn't win."
Berdych was playing for the Czech Republic at the Hopman Cup for the third time and also went through undefeated in his men's singles matches with American Mardy Fish, Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov, Denmark's Frederik Nielsen and then Gasquet.
He said: "It couldn't be better, it was an extremely great week and first of all I need to congratulate my partner."
France also had a tremendous week in Perth as Bartoli and Gasquet guided them into the final for the second time, but they are still chasing that elusive first title.

I worked at J. C. Penney full-time for more than a year
Pros – jcp is not scared to place you in a role that you have no experience in. Multiple locations throughout the country which provides opportunities for advancement if willing to locate.
Cons – Limited opportunities if not willing to locate. If a position is offered to you and you turn down the position (due to location or job preferences), it is difficult to advance.
Advice to Senior Management – Management should evaluate their distribution center HR policies as there are a multitude of under-performing supervisors and managers who cannot be dismissed from the company due to the Pro-employee approach they take. This effects moral of quality employees.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
